Study Notes
- An LSTM (Long Short-Term Memory) cell consists of several components that facilitate effective processing of sequential data.
Components of an LSTM Cell
- Cell State: Functions as a memory unit, transmitting information across different time steps.
- Forget Gate: Determines what information to discard from the cell state.
- Input Gate: Establishes what new information to incorporate into the cell state.
- Candidate Cell State: Represents potential new values to be added to the cell state.
- Output Gate: Ascertains which part of the cell state to output.
Significance of LSTM Components
- Forget Gate: Aids in determining which information is no longer pertinent and can be discarded, enhancing the model’s efficiency.
- Input Gate: Establishes which new information should be added to the cell state, ensuring relevant data is captured.
- Output Gate: Regulates the output based on the cell state, providing controlled and relevant information flow.
Rationale Behind LSTM Development
- Traditional RNNs encounter challenges because of the vanishing gradient problem, which complicates learning long-term dependencies.
- LSTMs were created to mitigate this issue by incorporating gates that manage the flow of information, enabling the network to preserve essential information over extended sequences.
